I realized one of my favorite songs to run to is fat bottom girls... Isnt that counterproductive? Once again I woke  up early and tried to convince husband to work out with me but he would'nt budge from the comfort of the warm, cozy bed!! Post run I did lunges, triceps and a few crunches.

Jordan decided he wanted to work out this morning! So, he took the treadmill while I lifted. So, I had to run on my lunch break, I was so tired from the benching, tricepts, squats, deadlifts and lunges!  4 miles was tough, had to walk .4 mi half way through.

1% incline Approx 6.0 pace because TT was 40mins
